    Hi you three. Thanks for all the updates. Loved your conversation with Mina about the tooth fairy, what a great imagination and her English is amazing and improving all the time. Well done Mina! That fence looks so much better and safer too. Glad you got your flip flops sorted I was beginning to worry about you. Strange that you can't get a 30m extension for you new hedge trimmer, I am sure that most people would need more than the standard 10m or perhaps they don't have a hedge at all and just use the trimmer as a status symbol. Round here they tend to use the Brush cutter for everything from grass cutting to tree felling and probably trimming toe nails as well as they only wear flip flops! I think that you must have our rain up there as this year, even though it is forecast every day and we hear thunder, it never rains! That means a lot of hosepipe use! May God continue to bless you all and protect you. 😀❤🙏

    Mina has such a vivid imagination, good storyteller and very intelligent. She is developing and growing up quite well under your and Neenee's tutelage. Kudos to the both of you. Good fortune and health to everyone.

    Felt pretty good about myself this morning. Groomed the balls with my trusty handheld, AAA battery driven device and then turned on CZcams to watch Todd sprout about his need for either a 2-stroke or 240 Volt machine to do HIS balls. The bloke was even complaining about the blade not being strong enough to do the job and needing not one, but two cans of WD-40 to protect the blades! This bloke doesn't need a Visa, he just walks through immigration with short-shorts (denim of course).
    Good vid; all the best.

    A great day in your life video . I guess trying to find your size in flipflops or other things gives a reason to go back to Auz to visit. You got to love those short extension cords for a trimmer

    Wow you and your wife have the cutest future adopted Lil girl she is such a beautiful little spirit God has great plans for her. I'm so happy you and your wife do what you do for the children and villages. My heart aches seeing the poverty. When I was in the Philippines I wanted to help all the children but I could only help a few. Again Todd bless you and your family. I'm going to be doing more in the future to help with your ministry and it is a ministry. 😊

    Hi Todd,,, best I can find for an 18 inch corded hedge trimmer,,from 120 to 160 and a few even higher. Mina wanted to smile,,but it's hard with a chunk of cotton in her mouth. Her eyes were certainly expressive and huge❤❤. The table was awwwwesome,,I think the biggest ever.. Dad has to have foot surgery next month,, looking forward to the summer roadies. Ttyl,,,Marlon

    Driving there looks to be about the same as it is in the Philippines. You can't wait for your turn you need to creep out and make it your turn. I have the same situation as you do when buying clothes. I ask if they have American size. 😁It's the same here I shipped my extension cords from the US.
    I hope you get your balls trimmed without any accidents or blood letting. 😨
